The TARDIS is lured
to Earth, London, 1985 by an alien distress signal.
Investigating, the Doctor and Peri stumble upon an attempted
bank robbery staged through the London sewers by a familiar foe
– ex-Dalek agent, Lytton. But who is he working for this time?

For they soon discover there is something far nastier lurking in
the sewers – Cybermen.

Why do the silver giants need a time machine? What is their
devastating plan of attack? And what does it have to do with a
catastrophic event that happened long ago in the Doctor’s past?
